Mbira
Well-known member
I'm doing the pre-production work for my next album, and so I'm working on some foundation groove tracks for the drummer to play to. So yes we will be using a click for much of the project. What I'm wondering is-I have a song that starts solo (me) playing the mbira very organically and with out a set tempo. I'll play that way for a couple minutes all the while speeding up to the desired tempo. I'll be at the desired tempo for maybe a minute and then all the other instruments will come in. I'm trying to figure out how best to lay out a guide click track for the band with this setup. I'm thinking:
1.record the solo mbira part all the way up till the band would be playing
2. go back now to 10 seconds before the band would start and record a click as an audio track at that tempo
3. use some sort of hit finder to sync the click to that audio track
4. overdub the mbira for that 10 second preroll and playthrough now with the new click.
5. crossfade as needed
That seems like the easiest and best way to do this-any other ideas?
